Can't help with the Glacern specifically, but I bought a use-enco.com #337-9316 on sale. It didn't fit my 4" vice. So what I did was find a socket (I think 10mm) that did fit the vice shaft, then bored out the hex part of the quickie handle and pressed in the socket. Good enough.

Yeah, a $5 socket (9/16", I think for my 4" vise) and some scrap. Plenty of leverage on everything so far. The store-bought variety are too big, but the idea of boring one out for a properly sized socket is a cool idea.

Yup.... this is a 5" Glacern with the oddball 5/8" hex nut. I noticed others using this vise found an equivalent to the "Quickie" vise handle. Where did you score it from?
Thanks,

I picked up a "speed handle" from Will, aka Darkzero, a few months ago. He had some CNC machined and then clear anodized. They are awesome little handles. I also fabricated one by taking a cheapy 5/8" wrench with a 1.5" hollow steel ball TIG welded on the end.

By the way, nice choice on the GMT 5" vise. I love mine.

Slight hijack guys, but the speed handle you speak of is the one Darkzero is selling in the classified section? Reason I ask is that I too have a 5" vise (was going to be a GMT until I tripped over a 5" Kurt for sale) and would like to get a speed handle for it. The one I have for my 4" vise won't fit.

Edit: Darkzero has some handles left. I bought a couple.

Here is the speed handle that I got from Will, aka Darkzero.

Here is the one that I made from a 5/8" Carlyle wrench cut down and welded to a hollow steel ball. I really like this one too as it fits in the palm of my hand nicely.

I really like the ones that Will has in the classifieds but my 6" GMT is 3/4", not 5/8". Haven't seen any for it yet. Still looking though. That huge handle that came with it certainly gets the job done but if I could find something not as large I would hop on it.

I haven't even used the one that came with my vise. It's sitting on the shelf collecting dust. I know they work but they are just so cumbersome and "clunky" feeling.

Congrats on the new mill!

There a few offered for the 6", 3/4" hex. 3/4" handles are commonly found but the 5/8" handles were pretty much non existant & is why I persued on getting them.

Geeze, guess I should have looked a little harder. ;^) Now for the next Enco sale w/shipping that doesn't have a $149 minimum purchase. Gonna put it in my cart right now.

Thanks fellas!
